VAT on sales of green energy

Net-billing settlement for VAT purposes involves recording electricity sales by a prosumer. The obligation generally arises where the prosumer is an active VAT taxpayer, operates a RES installation that generates surplus energy fed into the grid, and settles accounts under a value-based system (net-billing). This may give to rise to interpretative uncertainties.


During summer months, surplus amounts recorded in the prosumer’s deposit may exceed the amounts offset against electricity consumption charges, creating VAT issues concerning the rolling of the surplus value.
